with an arm11 core running at 533 mhz. the iphone uses an arm11 based design running at 620 mhz. 128mb main memory - same as the iphone. 1-4 gb flash - far less than the iphone.

of course it's also much cheaper and not in the same market anyway, but the limited hardware might explain why they use android instead of a desktop linux distribution. the in-order arm11 core surely isn't faster than the in-order atom core, so this netbook might only provide one third of the performance of its atom-based rivals.
